How could Trump even consider Romney as secretary of state?

Congratulations to President-elect Donald Trump on his selection of Kathleen Troia "KT" McFarland as his deputy national security adviser.

Conversely, how could he consider Mitt Romney for the most important position in his administration, secretary of state? Romney didn't endorse or support Trump, agree on his policy or even vote for him, and assailed his character during the campaign.

With one of his most fervent and experienced supporters, Rudy Giuliani, on one side of the scale and Romney on the other, it's inconceivable that Trump could put his thumb on the Romney side.
